Gone Coastal!

Oh, doesn't this necklace make you think of a coastal escape?  I can't think of anything better than sitting next to the ocean and making jewelry!  This piece uses mussel shell, glass, plastic and antique bronze chain.  It would look beautiful under a white collared blouse with it's soft oceanic colours.  This piece is one of my personal favourites.  Hope you enjoy!

Ahoy, Sailor!

What the heck does that mean, anyway?  Ahoy?  A-huh?  I had these white vintage plastic beads forever, and I just couldn't figure out what to do with them.  I started to make a long necklace, but then I changed my mind.  I had these other antique bronze coloured beads that screamed for me to used them as well.  After a bit of playing around, I designed this nautical-inspired 5-strand necklace.  It reminds me of someone wealthy, (obviously not me), setting sail for a weekend getaway to some tropical country...  I totally can't relate, but that's what I think of! 

Retro Rocks!

Remember the hideous earrings from the 80's?  If you're my age, you probably had a pair or two.  I found these interesting earrings and decided they had some potential.  I'm not 100% sure they are all from the 80's - they could be older.  Nontheless, they're dated and they needed a little sprucing.  Rather than trash them, I thought they'd be awesome as rings.  What do you think?

Lovely Lucite

I haven't done anything with Lucite for a while, but I fell in love with these daffodil beads from JJ Bugs Beads www.jjbugsbeads.etsy.com.  I knew I had to do something with them.  Here's my pink Valentine Bauble necklace, which can be found at Faux Creations & Delectables in Milverton, ON.  Visit http://twitter.com/fauxcreations for information on this beautiful new store!
